I choose the beige striped queen size sheets for testing purposes. I’ll start with the pros- these definitely have deep pockets, which is helpful since I have a thick pillow top mattress. These have been washed a few times and so far they are holding up nicely . They do feel a little on think side, but haven’t noticed any issues. The one “con” I have is that the beige is pulling more gold with my current comfortable so not sure I love the color for my own personal preference.
